Those little round rice cakes from Boots, bread cut into strips and baked in oven until its hard but then melts on contact with mouth, raisins (I count them before and after to prevent choking, but then I am not known for my relaxed attitude to things.)

Yes, I found them in Tesco's organic and "free from" section because they are free of gluten. They are made by baby organix. They are not marketed as babyfood as such - but it does say from 6 months on the packet.

just a quick update i gave my ds banana today after his dinner i felt like crying for him he was gripping it like his biscuit but where it waas so slimey it kept slipping oout of his fingers and after about ten minuits of trying he just droped it and looked at me as if to say i give up. so i gave him one of his biscuits for his dessert and he scoffed that quite happily looking at me smiling tomorow it going to be the steamed carrot i will actualy give it to him for a meal for his tea and see how he gets on with that then i will try the bread
